End of last week, I finally decided to tell my best friend that I'm not straight. And in doing so, it's really helping me figure this out for myself. I first told an old friend (who came out gay a few years ago), and I've been wanting to tell my best friend. Last Thursday I finally did. We were at his house, and I said I had something to tell him. Once I had his attention (he was photoshopping something at the time), I finally just started talking... I kinda don't remember exactly what I said leading up to it, but I finally just said "I'm not straight..." Then he was very receptive of it... and we talked for a while. He also let me in on that his fiancée is bi... something that I had thought, but she only acted that way when she was drunk. So... I wasn't completely sure. Beyond that, we chatted for a while, before his fiancée got home from work. I didn't go into the night planning to tell her just because I wasn't sure I could trust her with the secret... but my friend convinced me that she would be 100% respectful of it, since she herself is not "out" to most people. So, I ended up also telling her. We all three talked for like hours... and... it felt good. I was still feeling very awkward talking about it... but definitely gained some confidence and such through the process. They're both very supportive of it. So, that brings the total to 3 people... as well as people here on EC :icon_wink
awesome hey when i came out to my best friend she didnt take it well at all and we didnt talk for like a month or so, but she finally came around
Awesome! congrats! The aftermath where you realise "wow, I'm gay and even now they know it isn't a big deal!" was always my favourite part of coming out...
